Vendor comparison
A51 doo: Most companies are founded before they launch their first product. Not A51. The open source version of activeCollab was launched back in summer 2006 as a side project of one of A51′s founders. Although it had a lot of potential, activeCollab as an open source project consumed a huge amount of time without generating any income. A51 was started in summer 2007 with the purpose of developing and supporting a commercial version of activeCollab, while keeping the core values of the system – openness, flexibility and the option to host the system on your own server. Growing from its start as a side project of one person, activeCollab is now the full time job of a dedicated team of developers. A51 d.o.o. is settled in Novi Sad, Serbia. We are developing solutions that make teamwork more pleasant and productive. We believe that projects succeed because of good communication and execution, not because of charts and reports. We are trying to implement that credo into our products daily.
